What is the third way? The classic answer: to try to obtain, within the constitutional framework existing since 1982, some form of recognition — not only theoretical, but also practical — of a sociological reality, namely that Quebec is distinct from English Canada, that the French-speaking Quebec people are not the Canadian people. In short, become more autonomous without calling into question the federal link. What really is the third way? A vain attempt. The French-speaking Quebec people were deceived in 1982 by Pierre Elliott Trudeau, they were legally subjected to a fixed constitutional order, which June 1990 only confirmed, and to a Canada which has since been firmly convinced of its superiority moral. The failure of 1995 then subjected him to it politically. The political and intellectual elites who have since tried to make him believe that he can escape the consequences of the initial deception are themselves engaged in a vast deception, all the more culpable because they know the task is unachievable, because the The federal order established in 1982 — dogmatic equality of the provinces, almost complete sidelining of collective rights in favor of omnipotent individual rights, etc. —, is immutable. The third way never existed. As it constitutes an unacknowledged, but conscious, acceptance of the federalism which was imposed on us in 1982 and since then, it is a submission and, since this does not speak its name, it becomes a deception. And this, in the same way as all the illusions of renewal of federalism, of multinational federalism, etc. peddled by a number of thinking heads in universities, the media, certain political parties and elsewhere.
